I don't like SMF; it sucks.

Lets move to VB; my treat--I'll buy the license.

:beer: :biggrin: :popcorn:

All I ask for is a little notice at the bottom that says;

"Sponsored by Lord Tubby Ton the Third."

:bow:

Vbulletin, particularly VB5, is what killed a certain other community.

I wouldn't switch to it at all.

geswek

That's because some moron put 5 on.

VB 4 is the industry standard and what I recommend.

What would keep us from having the same spam-related issues?  How would security be handled differently?
2007 Ford Edge SEL, Powerstop F/R Brake Kit, TXT LED 6000K Lo & Hi Beams, W16W LED Reverse Bulbs, 3BSpec 2.5w Map Lights, 5W Cree rear dome lights, 5W Cree cargo light, DTBL LED Taillights

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

I also agree with Shodded on this one.....

I can speak 1st hand of the hellish nightmare(s) we experienced with all of the repeated security breaches, and all the spammers/hackers that kept getting in.....

It was ABSOLUTELY horrible.

I would literally spend hours, upon hours banning (spammer) profiles and their associated I.P. addresses.....

Once again, no thank you to any version of Vbulletin whatsoever. Industry standard or not.

This platform that 4DR's implemented since EBPF's inception, as well as continues to employ, has been a true breath of fresh air to say the least.

Move on Storm. I honestly don't think this specific suggestion's going to gain much traction, so umm yea.....

Enjoy :beer:

It still sucks.

I'm busy riding my SHO.

While the current software here is a bit squirrely in how it flows, it is certainly better than VB5 that was on that other forum.

Just wish you could get mouse-over previews on this current software...somewhat annoying as I like to preview posts before clicking on them.

Yeah, and if you've been back at EBOF VB is slower then ever.  The only thing I really miss here is there's no "Active Topics" list....I know we have the Recent Activity but that's really doesn't list all the threads that have been active in the last 24-48 hours.  That and it's kinda difficult to find topics once they are off the Recent Activity list....
